A single specimen, probably male, from its bent hind tibise, 

 taken by Mr. H. W. Cox, and generously given me. It presents 

 at least one character peculiar to the genus in its brightly 

 iridescent and coloured femora. It is most closely allied in size 

 and form to G. pygmaii(,s Cart., but differs from that species in 

 (1) narrower and more elongate prothorax, with narrower folia- 

 tion; (2) posterior angles of prothorax rectangular, anterior angles 

 obtuse; in G. pygmoius both angles are acute; (3) darker and 

 more violet-bronze colour; and (4) elytral intervals less sharply 

 defined. Type in author's Collection. 



Apasis sinuaticollis, n.sp. (Fig. 3.) 

 ^. Elongate-ovate, violet-bronze, very nitid, apical joints of 

 antennae obfuscated, tarsi reddish, underside metallic-black.
